Is this as good as “The Avengers” or “The Dark Knight”? This is the Buzz About Movies’ review on The Dark Knight Rises.

After The Dark Knight was highlighted by a brilliant performance by Heath Ledger, and Heath Ledger alone, the latest and final installment in the Dark Knight trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, is a better all around film. While no actor blew my socks off, everyone was really good, including Christian Bale, who never matched up to other actors in the previous 2 films. This film is 2 hr. 44 m, so pretty long. The film was slow at times, but the whole finale sequence was better than The Dark Knight or Batman Begins. Also, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake, he was really great and relevant, unlike I thought he’d be. SPOILER ALERT: John Blake’s real name is Robin Blake. Also, I was surprised by Anne Hathaway. She was extremely good, better than the Catwoman they played in Batman Returns. The ending of the trilogy was also really good, as even the villains aren’t just cold-hearted like Scarecrow and Joker. Bane has a history and a love. Also, what about Liam Neeson? They advertise it like he’s a major component in the film, but he is only in one short 30-second scene! Before the movie, I was wondering why Nolan didn’t call the film The Dark Knight Falls, but Rises as the appropriate word. Also, Tom Hardy was really good as Bane, taking up Heath Ledger’s iconic performance and trying to duplicate it. Great job to Hardy. WOW was the first word I said afterword. It was scary, yet a bit funny, and super cool! Much better than The Dark Knight!

CHRISTIAN BALE plays Bruce Wayne, and did a really good job! In the film, Wayne is still recovering mentally and physically with his battles from the Joker and losing Rachel Dawes, the girl he loves. Wayne has to get back into the Batman suit to fight a new criminal, Bane.

MICHAEL CAINE is very good in the film, as Alfred in the film is very persistent about Bruce not doing Batman again, but just going away, marrying, and having kids. Caine’s performance was very good and heartwarming.

TOM HARDY was REALLY GOOD! His character is in love with SPOILER ALERT Talia Al Gaul, and all of Bane’s actions come off of SPOILER ALERT Ra’s Al Gaul’s desire to destroy Gotham in the first film, Batman Begins.

ANNE HATHAWAY was really as good as Tom Hardy! Hathaway brought feeling to a dark character, Selina Kyle, who is very human in this film. Everything she does she does of human emotions, fear, hope, and more.

GARY OLDMAN was once again super as Jim Gordon! When Gordon is not in the hospital in this film, Oldman is super good! In the film, Gordon’s wife has ran away with the kids, and Gordon still remembers Harvey Dent’s crimes and his threatening to kill his family.

JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT was BETTER THAN EXPECTED! John Blake was probably my favorite character in the film, and partly because of Gordon-Levitt’s acting abilities. The character is moved to a Police Detective, but he has had a hard road as his mom and dad both died. He had been bouncing from foster home to foster home, and no one understood what he had been through. Then, at the end of the film, the character reveals his true name SPOILER ALERT Robin Blake.

MARION COTILLIARD was great, and really relevant to the story. Her character, Talia Al Goul, is disguising as Miranda Tate throughout the film, and is Bruce Wayne’s love interest in the first 3/4 of the film.

MORGAN FREEMAN plays Lucius Fox, and Freeman, as always, plays Fox with gusto. The character, CEO of Wayne Enterprises, has made a light energy system that could blow up all of Gotham (right up Bane’s ally) and no one refuses Bane, not even Lucius Fox.

CILLIAN MURPHY is in the film! Murphy plays Jonathan Crane once again, this time judging verdict or death on an unfair trial where all the good guys have to go. While Murphy doesn’t draw his Scarecrow outfit in the film, I hope he does soon, in the 2015 Reboot of Batman.

Here’s my overall rating of the film:

ENJOYMENT: 10/10

STORY: 10/10

TECHNICAL: 10/10

ACTING: 9.5/10

VISUALS: 10/10

IMPACT: 9.5/10

PACING: 9.5/10

VALIDITY: 10/10

MOOD: 10/10

RE-WATCH: 10/10

Overall, I give this film a: 10/10 (Home Run!). Thanks for reading this review on The Buzz About Movies!

So, we were the only people in the world who liked Cars 2 here at The Buzz About Movies, so Pixar’s redemption was Brave. While we didn’t get to see Brave immediately, we still wanted to see it, and saw it the week after The Amazing Spider-Man debuted instead of seeing Ice Age: Continental Drift. We REALLY liked it! The film has more emotional depth than Cars 2, but keeps the action, and I liked that. While there is a funny bear subplot, I still thought one thing led to another and it was a really good movie! The mom was funny as a bear, and there was some humor. I thought Merida was a strong female lead, and that Kelly MacDonald (who voiced her) did a real nice job with the Scottish accent. The little brothers were hilarious, especially when they were bears! The King was also funny.

Here’s my reviews on the cast:

KELLY MACDONALD plays Merida, and has an awesome Scottish accent in the film. Her character is a really strong character, and while she is a bit selfish at the beginning of the movie, you understood her point of view.

BILLY CONNOLLY plays Fergus, Merida’s dad, and is also really funny in the film. Yet he could’ve been in the film more.

EMMA THOMPSON plays Queen Elinor, the most proper queen you’ve ever met, opposite of Merida, some one interested in bows and fighting. Thompson was good as Elinor, and was as good as Kelly MacDonald.

JULIE WALTERS plays the Witch, and is my favorite character, because of her trickery, but sadly she isn’t in the film more than just two short scenes.

Here is my overall rating:

ENJOYMENT: 9/10

STORY: 8/10

ANIMATION: 9.5/10

ACTING: 8/10

VISUALS: 9/10

IMPACT: 9/10

PACING: 10/10

VALIDITY: 10/10

MOOD: 9/10

Overall, we give this film a: 9/10 (Triple Awesome). Thanks for reading The Buzz About Movies.

https://thebuzzaboutmovies.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/the-amazing-spider-man-movie-review/#commentsWed, 04 Jul 2012 16:27:39 +0000http://thebuzzaboutmovies.com/?p=742This Spider-Man is amazing in every sense of the word. This is The Buzz About Movies’ review on The Amazing Spider-Man.

When Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi ran out of creative ideas for a Spider-Man 4, the franchise looked down. Years later Sony was in some trouble and thought of bringing back Spider-Man, but rebooted. THEY got an idea, and hired Raimi, Maguire and the usuals. Sadly, Raimi, Maguire, Kristen Dunst and Rosemary Harris all quit the production, so Sony hired (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb. They got Social Network highlight and Golden Globe nominee Andrew Garfield to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Emma Stone to play a new love interest from the comics: Gwen Stacy and 2-time Oscar winner Sally Field to play Aunt May. They decided to do Spider-Man’s origin story, with the villain being the Lizard, played by Rhys Ifans. Let’s get reviewing: The emotional depth to this film was incredible, more emotion than any other movie I’ve seen. This is better than the entire first Spider-Man trilogy combined (OUR RATINGS: Spider-Man: 9/10, Spider-Man 2: 8.8/10, Spider-Man 3: 6/10). If you thought the first trilogy was good, you will be blown away by this! The origin story idea helped the movie, and I REALLY enjoyed it. Andrew Garfield was so much better than Tobey Maguire playing Spider-Man. Maguire’s interpretation was very soft, mellow, but too soft and mellow. Garfield is soft and mellow, but stronger and has a personality to his character Maguire doesn’t have. It was like Rise of the Planet of the Apes in the way that they were dong complex science that almost no one understands, but you understand it in a weird way. Rhys Ifans was also better as the villain, Emma Stone better as the love interest. Everyone was better. There was not a single boring part in the film. It was action-packed and I think what helped the film is the absence of the love triangle. That gave the first trilogy a confusing element, and they just demolished it in this. This was also funnier, quirkier, and just plainly better.

Here’s my reviews on the cast:

ANDREW GARFIELD killed! He was WAY better than Tobey Maguire, and this is a great new actor many people have yet to notice, as he didn’t get an Oscar nomination for his work in The Social Network, and lost the Tony Awards to Christian Borle (Peter and the Starcatcher). Borle deserved the Tony, but my point was Garfield has yet to be seen for what he is. The next Tom Cruise.

EMMA STONE was really good! She was very strong as the female lead, and much better than Kristen Dunst was in the first trilogy. She is overrated, but she wasn’t cheesy in this film like I thought she would be.

RHYS IFANS was great as the Lizard! He was no Loki or Evil Queen, but he was great opposite Andrew Garfield. He wasn’t as good as Garfield, but still really good!

Here’s my overall review:

https://thebuzzaboutmovies.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/spider-man-3-movie-review/#commentsMon, 02 Jul 2012 13:14:35 +0000http://thebuzzaboutmovies.com/?p=702So the new Spider-Man comes out this week, so I’m like, let’s watch Spider-Man 3! This is The Buzz About Movies’ Review on Spider-Man 3.

After the first Spider-Man was a hit, the second one was just awesome action and it had the love triangle, the 3rd one was just TOO complex. Three love triangles! (MJ, Peter, Harry) (Gwen, Brock, Peter) (MJ, Peter, Gwen). That got a bit crazy! Not to mention 5 villains! 5! It’s like The Avengers but with villains but much more confusing! AHHH! Here’s what Sam Raimi should’ve done: MJ and Peter are going strong, yet Harry is always there (love triangle). Suddenly, Sandman emerges, is found to have connection with Peter’s father’s death, so Peter wants revenge. Then, despite being against each other, Harry and Peter unite to take out Sandman. They shouldn’t have added that glob aspect! They shouldn’t have added Gwen Stacy or that Brock guy! It was too confusing! Not to mention it gets super boring when a large part of it is just MJ and Peter talking. It was boring, and there were so many villains, that they were doing something with one, then you totally forgot about the other one until he came on screen and you forgot about the other villain. The Glob was interesting, but unnecessary. What it does is magnifies your anger, so you turn into some one you are not. The script was horrible! They’d kill somebody off, then be like (we need him later) then kill him off again later (happened a few times). The film was still good, but way too confusing! However, on the other hand, Thomas Haden Church was great as Sandman, the guy who played Brock was nice, Tobey Maguire killed, Kirsten Dunst was well, OK, and Franco hit it right on the spot. The film has a gazillion plot lines that then join together to become a different plot line! Raimi just stuffed all of his ideas into this movie! Too many ideas!

Here’s my reviews on the cast:

TOBEY MAGUIRE killed as Spider-Man/Peter Parker/Black-Suited Spider-Man. Yep, Spider-Man goes all black in this film, as the glob is trying to take over him. Peter turns into something he’s not, and before you know it, Mary Jane is mad at him! Yikes!

KIRSTEN DUNST was good, showed emotion, but wasn’t GREAT. She loves Peter, you see that, and is devastated when he turns into the “black-suited” guy.

JAMES FRANCO was great! He was Harry/New Goblin as he takes his father’s place as the Green Goblin trying to kill Peter for killing his father (when Peter didn’t really kill Harry’s father). Man! False pretenses!

THOMAS HADEN CHURCH was great as Sandman/Marko Flint, the guy who terrorizes the town, and is the film’s main villain, despite them having about 5 villains. He was good, and you understood him, and saw all of his emotions in his face. He just wants to help his daughter.

TOPHER GRACE was Venom/Eddie Brock, a man who Peter humiliates, but then comes back to haunt him. I liked him, but they needed to go in-depth a bit more about him.

BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD was Gwen Stacy, a girl who is Peter’s apprentice in Science, but turns into a member of two love triangles. She didn’t really need to be there, and in the new Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy is Peter’s love interest. KINDA AWKWARD!

Here’s my overall review:

ENJOYMENT: 7/10

STORY: 2/10

TECHNICAL: 10/10

ACTING: 7.5/10

VISUALS (FOR THAT TIME): 10/10

IMPACT: 9/10

PACING: 3/10

VALIDITY: 4/10

MOOD: 6/10

RE-WATCH: 4/10

Overall, I give this film a: 6.2 (Middle of the Ladder) Thanks for checking out The Buzz About Movies’ review on Spider-Man 3.

https://thebuzzaboutmovies.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/mirror-mirror-movie-review/#respondFri, 29 Jun 2012 13:27:15 +0000http://thebuzzaboutmovies.com/?p=658Mirror Mirror on the wall, is this movie a poisoned apple after all? This is the Buzz About Movies’ review on Mirror Mirror.

After 2010’s Alice in Wonderland, everyone wanted to have a piece in this new fairy-tale genre. Universal came up with Snow White and the Huntsman, a dark thriller about Snow White meeting up with the Huntsman in the dangerous dark forest. Disney is working on Frozen and Malificient. Relativity Media also decided to get into the game, and hired Immortals director Tarsem Singh to direct Mirror Mirror, a lighter-more kid friendly, funny version of Snow White (with some fighting). The story was very straight forward, no plot-holes, easy to understand, and a high-five to Julia Roberts, but I’m not giving much credit to Lily Collins. ANYONE COULD’VE PLAYED THAT ROLE! Anyone from Taylor Swift to Dakota Fanning! LITERALLY! It was very engaging, the colors of the sets and costumes were all bright (as to appeal to a younger one’s eye). My younger sister loved this film, but I found it a bit too…princessy. Nothing really blew me away here, but Julia Roberts deserves recondition for playing the Queen as she did and lighting up an otherwise (girl princess movie) into family fun.

Here’s my reviews on the cast:

LILY COLLINS is okay as Snow, but like I said before, anyone could’ve played the part. She felt like a very gentle character, but she felt not the perfect contrast with the little angry dwarves.

JULIA ROBERTS needs praise! Great job! Awesome! Every single second she was on screen was just pitch-perfect. I don’t know who could’ve been better playing the part!

ARMIE HAMMER needs to stick to doing movies like The Social Network and J. Edgar. He doesn’t fit for me in this movie. Despite, it looks like there is an age difference between him and Lily Collins anyway.

Here’s my overall review:

ENJOYMENT: 6.5/10

Overall, I give this film a: 6.5 (Not Perfect Yet Not Bad). Snow White and the Huntsman was better than this. Pretty obvious.

The story of the Alaskan Whales is true, and it is adapted from the book by Thomas Rose titled: Freeing the Whales. Many people are comparing this to Dolphin Tale, both are true stories and about animals. We liked this more than Dolphin Tale, because there were more challenges to face the team. When you thought it was all good, something else would pop up. This also feels like a bigger operation, getting the National Guard and the Soviets involved, where Dolphin Tale was more a small aquarium. Tale was also good, but not as good as this. It makes you think of whales in a whole different way, and they have some amazing sweeping shots of the Arctic that just BLOW your mind! While the acting wasn’t superb, Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski certainly held their own as the main characters. Kristen Bell was also funny as the bratty reporter that is kissing up to Adam. The boy, Ahmaogak Sweeney, was pretty good, and really looked the part. This is the only film he’s acted in, but I hope he does more. Also a quick shout out to John Michael Higgins who plays small, but VERY comedic roles in films (this included).

Here’s my reviews on the cast:

DREW BARRYMORE held her own as the female lead, and also showed you how much passion she put into the project and how many people she could get in touch with. There was always a relationship with Krasinski, that was clever.

JOHN KRASINSKI was fine as the male lead, and was funny. Sadly, most of his jokes were in the trailer. He was fine, however.

KRISTEN BELL was funny as the selfish reporter, who only cares about the story, and about getting famous. She is always kissing up to Adam (Krasinski), and that is funny.

TED DANSON is JW McGraw, who was hilarious! He was against the whales, until his wife transplanted the idea into his head for media coverage. In the end, he cares as much as Rachel (Barrymore) does however.

Here’s my overall review:

ENJOYMENT: 8/10

RE-WATCH: 7/10

Overall, I give this film an: 8.1 (Fun Fine Time). It’s a fun family movie, see it with the kids, it is funny, heartwarming, relaxing, yet suspenseful and based off of a true story.

Marvel was cheering when Spider-Man came in with an impressive haul at the box office. So, they made a sequel, in which Spider-Man duels against Doc-Ock. The film is clever, because it is all mental, showing you the key to finding yourself is through your mind, with the suit not working when Spider-Man’s wondering if he is Spider-Man or Peter Parker, plenty of looks inside Spider-Man’s mind, and the key to the villain becoming good is to not let arms control his mind. It was better than the original, but the villain wasn’t the best. At the very end, there is a cliffhanger, so you know they’ll be doing a Spider-Man 3 (and they did!)

Here is my reviews on the actors:

TOBEY MAGUIRE is once again a strong male lead as Spider-Man and Peter Parker. He adds real emotion to the role, and outacts Alfred Molina (playing Doc Ock) in every scene! In my mind, Maguire is Spider-Man, but we’ll see what I think of Andrew Garfield when I write my review on The Amazing Spider-Man.

KIRSTEN DUNST is fine as Mary Jane, but she is not as good as Maguire. And while she does hold her own, her character bounces around a bit in the film (not very good script-writing).

JAMES FRANCO is Harry Osborne, who has to get his revenge on Spider-Man for killing his father despite that Spider-Man is his best friend (doesn’t know that yet) and his father was the bad guy.

J.K. SIMMONS is the head guy at the Bugle, and is hilarious! HILARIOUS! Probably the best acting in the movie is here! Hilarious acting from JK Simmons!

Overall, I give this film an: 8.8 (Triple Awesome)! Thanks for checking out The Buzz About Movies!

Before The Avengers, this film was the most successful superhero film of all time. Did it deserve that rank? Yes, but The Avengers tops it off by a lot. Many thought the film should’ve been nominated for Best Picture, and it won an Oscar for Heath Ledger’s portrayal as The Joker.

Here’s what we thought: As the movie opens, you just see a ton of clowns robbing a bank and shooting everyone (kinda weird). Then we see a ton of Bruce Wayne stuff (gets kind of boring) and you’re like “THIS is The Dark Knight?” Plus, there’s this crazy Chinese sub-plot and you go “Come on!” Then, when The Joker invades Bruce Wayne’s Harvey Dent party, it all starts to heat up. After the Joker threatens Batman by killing people, Batman gives in, but Harvey Dent saves him, taking credit for all of Batman’s crimes. Then, Rachel Dawes (his girlfriend) is all upset with him and some crazy scenes and Harvey Dent becomes Two-Face after the Joker turns him into a crime-guy. After the Batman defeats the Joker, he realizes Two-Face has Jim Gordon’s kids. I won’t spoil the finale for you. The plot was good, but it wouldn’t be an excellent movie without Heath Ledger. His performance shows a passion, something Jack Nicholson didn’t have in his portrayal of the Joker in 1989’s Batman.

Here’s my reviews on the cast:

CHRISTIAN BALE isn’t as good as anyone else in the movie. Heath Ledger takes control of the movie, and Aaron Eckhart is along for the ride. I began to dread long Bruce Wayne talks with Alfred because I wanted Heath Ledger to be on! That’s just it. I hope in The Dark Knight Rises Bale isn’t done over by Tom Hardy. Even though Cillian Murphy and Heath Ledger have done an awesome job as the villains outshining Batman.

HEATH LEDGER rocks! He is one of my favorite actors. His funny, yet fierce portrayal of the Joker, watching the world burn, is awesome! Ledger cannot be topped by any other acting performance by a villain…period! He was that good! He takes total control of the movie, with some awesome scenes (Why So Serious, Pencil Trick).

AARON ECKHART was good opposite Heath Ledger. He certainly carried his scenes. He was much better as Two-Face then Harvey Dent, however. With Two-Face, he had this snarl when he flipped his coin (Heads or heads). I just wish they established Two-Face more. It felt like “I’m Two-Face!” five seconds before the movie finished. I would’ve loved a half-hour of the Two-Face stuff instead.

MICHAEL CAINE outshines Bale in every scene. Yet his long talks with Bale get a bit boring when all you want is Joker! I think everyone in The Dark Knight should be jealous of Ledger.

MAGGIE GYLENHAAL is much better than Katie Holmes at playing Rachel Dawes. She adds more character to the role, but she wasn’t in the film much. I hope the same thing doesn’t happen with Miranda Tate in The Dark Knight Rises.

GARY OLDMAN is once again solid as Commissioner Gordon. But, still, his character needs a bit more…PIZZAZ! All those police scenes get boring when once again, all you want is more Heath Ledger.

Here’s my overall review:

You’re reading The Buzz About Movies’ review on: Men in Black 3.

After soaring over a 200 M dollar budget, MIB 3 looked done. But it came back to get some solid noise at the box office, but they probably won’t break even on this thing.

Here’s what we thought: The film had a great storyline, and the acting rocked, and the comedy was much better than the first one, it just needed a little touch of something (that it didn’t have) to make it great. With a REALLY disgusting love sequence, there are also cameos from Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. Still, Will Smith was good, as was Josh Brolin. The villain was much better than the first one, he felt more human. A human wants revenge, he doesn’t just want to destroy the world. Also, they showed J’s backstory, as well as O’s backstory, and K’s “sort of” love affair with O.

Here’s my review on the cast:

WILL SMITH was as usual, funny. He played the role of J, and while he had his emotional scenes, he was mostly just funny. His character is so different from K, and that’s what makes the contrast nice.

TOMMY LEE JONES isn’t in the movie much. He is K. All he really does in this movie is shoot aliens and eat pie, no literally. HE’S BARELY IN IT! In the scenes he was in, he was good however.

JOSH BROLIN was good. Everyone’s saying he’s amazing and whatever what-not, and he was a good Tommy Lee Jones figure, but he wasn’t amazing at any cost. He was just…good.

JEMAINE CLEMENT was good as the big bad, Boris the Animal. I found Boris a really interesting character, a really human character (feelings wise). He also happens to have one arm missing and can shoot stuff out of his hand! Can’t get too much cooler than that.

Here’s my overall review:
